Introduced and Cryptogenic Species of the North Atlantic In August 2000 and 2003, a team of taxonomic experts examined floating docks and piers throughout the New England coast to identify native and non-native species. This rapid assessment survey identified 34 introduced organisms, several of which were identified for the first time in this region, and 37 organisms whose native geographic distribution is unknown (referred to as cryptogenic).
